Christ, the Firstfruits of the Resurrection

20

And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead--the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

21

for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead,

22

for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

23

and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence,

24

then--the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power--

25

for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet--

26

the last enemy is done away--death;

27

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

28

and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
